maligned Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) The national title contenders Mejia, Blubaugh, and Streck all won easily in the first session today. Sadly, Jose Diaz was in a pigtail and already went 0-2. Indianapolis has two alive (including Blubaugh) in the Round of 16 and two alive in the consolations. Wrestling resumes at 6pm Eastern and is free to view on the NCAA.com website by going to the "Live Video" list (not viewable on demand, though, sadly) Edited March 15 by maligned RAJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Mejia, Blubaugh, and Streck all advance to the semifinals at 11am tomorrow morning. All 3 are officially All-Americans. Congratulations! MUSKEEWRESTLER and nighthawk21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 In addition to Blubaugh, UIndy has another guy in the semi's and a third that's in the consis with an AA spot locked up. Those 3 AAs put Indianapolis in 9th place. nighthawk21 and MUSKEEWRESTLER 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 WOW! Christian Mejia! He comes in as the 3-seed, having lost only to the top two seeds during the year. Facing the 2-seed, who beat him 9-2 during the year, he hips into a high-c attempt and takes him to his back for the pin only a minute into the match!! He's been on the podium twice before, and now he gets his shot for a title tonight! He'll face the 4-seed, who took out the top seed, and who was the runner-up at this event last year. bwoodjc89, MUSKEEWRESTLER, datdude and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Corpe Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Mejia is an Elkhart Memorial grad not Elkhart Central. He is looking tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 And Derek Blubaugh! He heads to his 3rd straight National Championship match at 197 with a heart-stopping last-second takedown and victory. He's lost the final 6-0 and 1-0 the last two years to #1 Dalton Abney of C. Oklahoma. Very sadly, that's his only D2 loss this season (5-0) and his opponent in the finals. Derek's a beast. He's got a couple D1 wins to his credit this year to go with the 2-time runner-up credentials. Here's hoping he can finally get over the hump and get the upset!! And Shawn Streck follows suit and joins the Indiana procession into the finals. He continues a dominating tournament with a 13-4 win the semi's. He'll look to repeat as national champion tonight at 285. He'll go in as the favorite against his 4th-seeded opponent.

As a Goshen guy, I'm sorry for not noticing that's how he accidentally had it. Ha! Edited March 16 by maligned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
